CLASS PROPHECY It was spring in Paris and I was strolling down the Rue de la Paix. Passing the tables of the Cafe de la Paix, I saw a flash, a gleam of red; I stopped, I stared incredulous; it wasn’t, yes, it was Wilmer Bullard—as jaunty, as debonair as he was yes, twenty years ago when he graduated from high school es. Wilmer told me that if one waited long enough, everyone one knew passed the cafe and that he had been sitting there for the last twenty years to prove the statement. As he spoke, I glanced up and saw two familiar figures approaching. They were Johnnie Jensen and Walt Andrews, who were as successful gigolos as Paris could boast. They paused to speak to two attractive women, Jean Fulford, now the Countess de Blank and Melba Kelso, who, Wilmer infcrmed me, was her state’s representative of the Amalgamated Club Women of America. Just as I was about to call them, everyone dashed to the curb and I dashed too. Coming down the street was a procession feting the world famous American flyer, Speed Donaldson, who had just completed the first stratosphere flight around the world. In the car behind the aviators rode the American Ambassador, Merle Shields, and Senator Patrick Thornton, who were in Paris for the twenty-second World Disarmament Conference. When the procession had passed, I turned back to speak to the Countess, but she was getting into her limousine with her two children and their nurse and tutor, Ruth Clark and Ralph Pickett, respectively. Just then a group of people wearing American Olympic team sweaters strolled up. They were Wilfred Daie and Damon Watson, coaches of the American Men’s team, Dana Earl, women’s coach, and Margaret Getchell, team dietician. We were worrying as to who would pay the checks when Edgar Thompson, Dodo Doll manufacturer, came up, and incidentally to the rescue. We were abcut to order another when John Seymour, professional soul-saver and prohibitionist, came into view, hurrying to meet George Hopper, international scout leader. The latter, when he appeared, was acccmpanied by Robert Golden, veteran croup‘er of the Casino in Mone Carlo, and Bob Olson, bouncer in the same establishment. Someone suggested going out to the Paris Exposition grounds. Here we found Raymond Thornton and Joel Cloud operating a merry-go-round. Riding on a camel was Doris Lynn, true to her philosophy of living for the moment, and on the giraffe beside her was Georgene Hicks, physical education teacher from Banning U. H. 5. on a vacation. Sitting in a chariot arguing in a friendly fashion, were Bob Chambers, world famous architect and Dan Cho’sser, successful engineer. We walked on to the main building where Francilla Abbot, cowgirl extraordinary, was giving an exhil custo was | and Rose visite maki Crew E'ste: were who Marg told | She ; toire I hac it shi wher Ther Partr ‘ I ren fetchi Our oO
